    What the.....? The 70's era Solid State category doesn't work, since there were only 3 years of solid state games in that decade. Since they went with decades, you now have 6 digit, 7 digit and alpha numeric machines lumped into the same '80-'89 category. And somehow, the game that's going to win the '00-'09 category isn't even on the list, LOTR. There are also games in the list with under 500 units produced (dumb rule), like Warlok and Defender. So if I vote for them, it doesn't count according to the rules?
    It should have been categorized by display: Reels, 6 digit, 7 digit, alpha-numeric, DMD and LCD. C'mon "pinheads".

    Another unnecessary awards show to generate clicks and ad revenue?

    To be fair, for some people it is necessary to generate clicks and ad revenue.
